What happens if I exceed the limit of unsuccessful attempts to reset my forgotten password?
If you exceed the limit of unsuccessful attempts, you’ll be barred from using the password reset tool for that username (or for any username on that specific computer) for 24 hours. If this happens to you, please give us a call on 13 22 58 to reset your password.
Why does it say I've exceeded the limit of unsuccessful attempts when I haven't even used it yet?
For security reasons, we must limit the number of password reset attempts by username as well as by the specific computer being used to reset it.
If you are using a work computer or non-iiNet internet connection, you may be behind a firewall. That means our system can mistake your computer for another computer that is also behind the same firewall. It doesn't mean that someone has reset your password, but it does mean that you can't use the reset tool from that computer until later.
